After first appearing on the Fusion, Fiesta and Mustang, Ford‘s Aston Martin-inspired front end styling has found its way to the 2015 Focus.

According to Jalopnik, the leaked images come from Ford’s French website, although the images have been obviously taken down at this point in time. In addition to the new grille, the Focus gets a tweaked front bumper, new wheels and redesigned headlights and tail lights. Inside, the layout is largely unchanged, with the exception of a slightly updated centre stack and a new steering wheel. Oh, and there still is a manual transmission.

Powertrain details haven’t been announced just yet, but given this is just a facelift, the 2015 Focus will probably carry over its existing engine and transmission options. However, rumour has it the Focus could see the turbocharged, 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine currently offered with the Fiesta.

The refreshed 2015 Ford Focus ST will make its official debut when the Geneva Motor Show kicks off in less than one week.
